A blogosphere of their own

Outrage over the N.Y. Times' story on the all-female BlogHer convention prompts the question: Are women on the Web just not taken quite as seriously as men?

Two clarifications

Thought I should probably clarify two things, as one of the founders of BlogHer:

1. People seem really fascinated by the affirmations in the restroom, and many have taken it as face value that those were an official conference thing. I never saw them myself, but I assume whatever Kara saw was placed there by some well-meaning attendee.

2. BlogHer announced its dates well ahead of NetRoots Nation after specifically checking in with them about when they planned to hold their event. Six weeks after our announcement they announced their dates, now rescheduled to coincide with ours, apparently because they had some venue scheduling issues. I have found it interesting that people also assume that overlap was due to BlogHer indifference...we were anything but indifferent.

Thanks.
